So we finished mowing the CRP ground last week, and hadn't brought the tractor back to the house. Saturday, my grandfather (almost 87 years old.), wanted me to go 'rescue' the tractor first thing. So after 1-1/2 hours, we got it back to the house (needed a jump, we didn't bring ether and it wouldn't pop, etc.).
I mowed a little 50 x 200' patch behind the houses that needed it, and parked up the tractor. After lunch, I hear the tractor fire up, and next thing I know, the old man is mowing hay. I thought we were done, but apparently not...
He was in his glory. He mowed about 4 acres before he plugged it. I figured that was enough tractor time for him, so I told him to go park it.
Got a little clover and wheat planted for the wildlife today. The old JD 3020 slinging wheat and a McCormick MTX 135 running a 12’ Brillion cultipacker with seed boxes. It is hot and DUSTY for September 10.
Round baler monitor. With a dirt dauber wasp nest inside. No wonder the twine arms wouldn't work right.
